Zhou Jiyun sat on the chair with a pale face, clenched his fists and made a sound. Since he became the general of the Great Qi, he had basically not been criticized so severely. Even the great general Cao Yun of the past was polite to him, but the old man in front of him was only enough to point at his nose and call him a waste.

But he couldn't talk back because this time he did it badly.

The consequences of the defeat in Wanzhou are disastrous. The failure on the battlefield involves the domestic situation. Their lives are getting more and more sad. The emperor is sharpening his sword and looking at the long-standing families in China with a grin. If he encounters another painful failure in the six eastern counties and destroys the last essence of the aristocratic families here, then his death will definitely not be a joke, but will be placed in front of them alive.

The emperor had long been unwilling to accept the control of the government and local governments of these big families. The purge had already begun, and the butcher's knife was being lifted up little by little. Cao Yun took the armor and was once regarded as a good opportunity by the aristocratic family. If Zhou Jiyun had seized the opportunity and won Min Ruoying at that time, he would be the position of the commander-in-chief.

But he failed in the end. Although this was not his problem, the emperor was unable to defend himself by the blame, because Cheng Wuben did slip away from his eyes, and Min Ruoying also ran away from his eyes.

He could not shirk responsibility in the Battle of Wanzhou. But who could calculate that Bian Wushuang had gathered so much help as soon as he came to Jinghu.

He came to seize power, to drive Cheng Wuben away, and to drive Cheng Wuben to the death. Shouldn't Cheng Wuben seize power with him? Shouldn't Cheng Wuben fight with him first? What is there for this old guy who even the emperor dared to abandon? He wouldn't dare to do what he would watch as Bian Wushuang made contributions and forced himself into a dead end?

Zhou Jiyun couldn't see clearly and could not figure it out. Why did Bian Wushuang and Cheng Wunin cooperate so well and give him a fatal blow. Cheng Wunin wanted to die, but he also dragged himself to hell!

After more than a year of war, the soldiers under his command were exhausted and wanted to rest. For a whole year, under the urging of the heads of the aristocratic family, and under the malicious rebuke of Emperor Cao Tiancheng, he fought for a whole year. After all, people were not made of steel, and they had to rest. But who knew that this little slackness caused the evil consequences today.

It was because he was too careless! Bian Wushuang's army and Suqian's Western army all came from the west. They didn't care about the severe cold in the east at all. They fought in such bitter and cold places, unlike the army under their command, who had a natural fear of the severe cold.

In this battle, the military strength of the aristocratic families in the six eastern counties was completely lost.

He did not take Bian Wushuang into consideration. The famous generals of Qin State basically came from the Deng family, but the Deng family had been completely damaged in the battle with the Ming State. Although Bian Wushuang was famous, it was more reflected in the domestic struggle for power and profit with the Deng family. He was beaten to pieces by Deng Hong. Finally, with the help of the royal family, he retreated to the Luoying Mountains in a mess. But now, Zhou Jiyun knew what it means to be a famous scholar.

Bian Wushuang is not a harmless little white rabbit, but a fierce big bad wolf!

But now it's too late to understand all this.

The old man in front of him was harshly scolding him. Zhou Jiyun was very angry, but he didn't look much afraid. Because he was Zhou Jiyun, the eldest son of the Zhou family of the Great Qi family, and the son-in-law of the Wu family, the family where the old man was located. More importantly, he was the most outstanding general in command of the army among the rich families in Daqi. He had been rooted in the army for many years, and they had no candidate to replace him.

After anger begins, they still have to do things by themselves. They will not give themselves less help, because they have no choice but to themselves, because if they fail, it means that everyone will be in trouble with them.

I missed a move because of my carelessness. Although it hurts my bones, I still have strength. As long as the country is giving me some supplements, it is not impossible to recover the current form.

"Uncle Second, what's the use of saying this now?" He let go of his tight fingers and looked at the roaring old man in front of him, saying indifferently: "The six eastern counties are just one county. As long as I can calm down, I will give me some supplements in the country. I can always grab Wanzhou back. Bian Wushuang is not Cheng Wuben. Cheng Wuben has been huddled in the shell and cannot find a good opportunity. Bian Wushuang, hehe, even if I take advantage of it for a while, I will always let him give up with his capital and profit."

"You are so angry that it seems that you haven't taught you enough lessons this time!" The old man from the Wu family, who was called the second uncle by Zhou Jiyun, sneered. "Son-in-law, do you know what Zhou and Wu have paid this time?"

"No matter what you have paid, I can get it back for you twice as much." Zhou Jiyun looked at the other party proudly: "The Zhouwu clan has its current power. Over the years, I, Zhou Jiyun, have made great contributions in it. Now that I have encountered difficulties, you naturally have to bring out some things. We are the real members of the prosperity and the loss of the prosperity, right? Uncle Second?"

The old man from the Wu family stared at Zhou Jiyun for a while, his face changed and he finally sat down after a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere finally eased a little, Yue Kaishan, who had not made any noise, then walked over with a smile: "Elder Wu, victory or defeat is just a common thing for military strategists. Although he suffered a small setback, fortunately, he was unable to hurt the root cause and he could finally turn it over."

"You said so?" the old man from the Wu family looked at Yue Kaishan and asked.

"No," Yue Kaishan said confidently: "As General Zhou said, Bian Wushuang is not Cheng Wuben. Cheng Wuben's strategy is to shrink and defend, no matter how you lure it, it will not stand out. This is more difficult to deal with. This person is known as the iron wall of Chu. Now this person is dead, and Bian Wushuang is replaced by Bian Wushuang. A surrendered general of Qin who wants to make a name for himself and gain the trust of the Emperor of Chu, naturally he cannot be satisfied with defending the defense line in front of him. He must have to attack. As long as he attacks, this is our opportunity."

"Now the strength of Bian Wushuang is much stronger than you. Even if you provide assistance to you in China, it will not be possible to arrive in a short while. What's more, there are still some people in the league who have other ideas."

Yue Kaishan nodded, "We have been mentally prepared as Elder Wu said. Bian Wushuang is indeed stronger than us in terms of paper strength, but it is just on paper. If we really talk about the ability to use it in reality, he is not much more than us."

"How do you say this?"

"Bian Wushuang is an outsider after all." Yue Shan smiled. "So some generals and officials in Jinghu are really obedient to him? He is here, Cheng Wuben is dead. What do the direct generals of Cheng Wuben think? I heard that Jiang Shangyan disappeared for more than a month and then returned to the military camp. What was the idea of ​​this person? I really want to drive Bian Wushuang. Don't forget that Bian Wushuang can be regarded as the biggest accomplice to kill Cheng Wuben."

“This is pretty good.”

"In addition, as soon as Bian Wushuang took office, he laid off tens of thousands of local troops in Jinghu, weakening the rights of the governor of Jinghu County Zeng Lin. How could Zeng Lin be so easy to meet? Can he be convinced? Zeng Lin is a sloppy old guy. He is obviously a subordinate of Yang Yihe, but Yang Yihe fell and died and was killed. He was not missing a single hair, but he became more and more moister than he lived!"

The old man from the Wu family nodded slightly.

"Besides, Suqian has fought with the Qin people for so many years and is considered an enemy of Bian Wushuang. Now Bian Wushuang has thrown him to Wanzhou. It is obvious that he wants to fight us. Will Suqian be willing? Let's go to work hard with Suqian so that Bian Wushuang can laugh secretly behind him?"

"So, you have already been calculating?" The old man from the Wu family looked at Zhou Jiyun and Yue Kaishan, and finally showed some relief on his face.

"Natural." Yue Kaishan smiled. "Military matters, let General Zhou talk to you later. I will only talk about me! With the strong support of the alliance, Kunling County has basically recovered its vitality. When we captured Kunling County, we didn't spend much effort. The damage here was not too serious, so it recovered quickly. Now, Kunling County alone is enough to support about 20,000 to 30,000 people in combat. Not counting Wanzhou, the other four counties can support another 50,000 people in combat. Not counting the support given to us by the country, we can support the military expenditure of 80,000 people. But what we lack most now is the armor. These places do not have enough ability to provide us with enough weapons, which requires domestic support."

"But now we have only 50,000 people left." The old man surnamed Wu sighed. "What are you planning to do?"

He turned to look at Zhou Jiyun and asked.

"Kaishan and I have discussed it. Didn't Bian Wushuang want to regain the six eastern counties? Then give him some sweetness and give up several counties." Zhou Jiyun said.

The old man surnamed Wu was shocked, "How can this be done? Now that he lost Wanzhou, there are already many discussions in the country, and the emperor even showed malice without any concealment. How can he explain to him if he lost several counties?"
